Shevchenko left no doubt once again, proving that no matter how many wins you rack up in a row, nothing is slowing down the champ. Valentina Shevchenko continued on her build her already legendary resume as arguably one of the best females to ever enter the Octagon with her fourth-round stoppage of Lauren Murphy. Still, “Lucky” had nothing to lose and everything to gain Saturday. No matter the critics discredited her ahead of the fight, Murphy had earned her shot at UFC 266. Valentina Shevchenko had been tested with many different styles over the years, and seemingly grew more unstoppable with every challenge that came her way. While there was no denying that Lauren Murphy had earned her shot at Shevchenko with her five-fight win streak, the question leading up to the fight would be… was it enough to take the belt away from Valentina? Shevchenko landed a solid combination up top and surprised Santos with a body lock takedown.Once Valentina Shevchenko and Lauren Murphy signed on for UFC 266, the fight grew into a sort of David vs. Shevchenko wiggled out of it and the fighters returned to their feet with three minutes left in the closing round. Shevchenko defaulted again to the head-and-arm throw which, while effective, resulted in Santos taking the back.

The challenger immediately responded with a takedown attempt. The champion opened with harsh body kicks and a blitz of punches that hurt Santos. Santos ducked a late flurry by Shevchenko and scored a takedown. Shevchenko capped off a blitzing combination of strikes with a head kick that partially landed.

Shevchenko felt the change in momentum and opened up with big strikes on various targets. The commentators revealed that a clash of heads caused the damage to Santos, which completely shut her right eye as the round continued. Santos had visible swelling around her eye at the start of Round 4. To the championship rounds we go 🍿 #UFC275 /gyKRnZgOaR- UFC June 12, 2022
